A system for restoring and protecting a canal divider wall, the system comprising:
- titanium bolts;
- polymer grout;
- and
- a plurality of precast panels, wherein each of the precast panels comprises:
- a cap defining at least one bore extending through the cap;
- two side walls attached to and extending from the cap to define an inner cavity sized to receive a segment of the canal divider wall, each of the two side walls defining at least one bore extending through the side walls;
